Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

Why Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning Is Scenic Oaks’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
Scenic Oaks homeowners hire us because we do the thing most duct cleaners won’t: we tell you exactly what the job costs before it begins, and we hand you before-and-after photos of your own ducts when it’s done. That’s the Relay Standard, and it applies to every booking we take in Scenic Oaks and the surrounding Hill Country. You get a live trackable arrival window, a background-checked technician in uniform, and a digital invoice you can pay from your phone.
Omar Haddad leads our team, and he holds every Scenic Oaks job to the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work isn’t right within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. No fine print, no exclusions. That’s the longest-standing satisfaction window in the trade, and it covers every single job we run in Scenic Oaks, not select ones.
We also answer the phone. A live person picks up 24/7, which matters when you’re trying to book between school drop-off and your own workday. You won’t get a voicemail loop or a next-business-day callback. You’ll get a straight answer about pricing, scheduling, and what to expect on service day.
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Scenic Oaks
Air Duct Cleaning Services in Scenic Oaks cover the full network of supply and return ducts that move conditioned air through your home. In most Scenic Oaks houses, that means a rotary brush system running through the trunk lines, a Nikro HEPA vacuum pulling negative pressure at the air handler, and the registers sealed so loosened debris goes into the vacuum, not back into your living room. A standard residential cleaning runs $450 to $700 for a single system here, and we inspect everything with a camera before we start so we know what we’re actually dealing with.
Residential Duct Cleaning
We clean the entire duct path: supply runs, return runs, the main trunk line, and the plenums at the air handler. For Scenic Oaks homes with limestone dust or recent remodel debris, we recommend a full system cleaning rather than a supply-only touch-up. That typically runs $450 to $700 for a home up to about 2,500 square feet.
Return Duct Cleaning
Return ducts pull air back toward the air handler, so they collect the finest particles first. In Scenic Oaks, that means caliche dust and limestone grit accumulating faster than most homeowners expect. We clean return runs as part of every full system job, and we always camera the main return first to confirm the source of any debris before we cut into anything.

HVAC Duct Cleaning in Scenic Oaks
HVAC Duct Cleaning in Scenic Oaks means cleaning the ducts and the components that move air through them, the supply plenum, the return plenum, and the air handler cabinet. It’s the fuller version of duct cleaning, and it’s what we recommend for Scenic Oaks homes where dust keeps reappearing weeks after a basic cleaning. A full HVAC duct cleaning here runs $600 to $900 depending on system size and how much buildup has packed into the plenums and coil area.
Full System Cleaning
This includes the supply and return ducts, both plenums, the blower compartment, and the evaporator coil if it’s accessible. For Scenic Oaks homes sitting over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone, this is the service that actually solves the recurring limestone dust problem, because the grit doesn’t just sit in the ducts, it packs against the coil. Full system cleaning runs $600 to $900 for a typical Scenic Oaks single-family home.
Video Inspection
Before we clean anything, we run a camera down the main return and supply trunk. In Scenic Oaks, this step catches the real culprits: drywall dust from a remodel, a failed filter housing, or limestone fines that have worked their way past the return grille. Video inspection is included with every cleaning we perform in Scenic Oaks, not sold as an add-on.
Trusted Brands We Service in Scenic Oaks
We maintain and clean systems built around Honeywell filtration, Aprilaire media cabinets, and Nikro extraction equipment, and our technicians carry the professional-grade tools to match. When a Scenic Oaks home has an Aprilaire filter housing packed with fine Hill Country dust, we service it on the spot rather than telling you to call the HVAC company. Our trucks carry what we need for most Scenic Oaks jobs, so we’re not running back to a supply house mid-appointment.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Scenic Oaks Homes
- Caliche dust packed against the evaporator coil. Scenic Oaks sits over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone, where porous limestone and thin soils push fine grit into homes. That grit bypasses many filters and settles on the coil, cutting airflow and pushing dust back through the registers.
- Remodel dust left in the ducts. Many Scenic Oaks homes have gone through at least one renovation, and drywall dust is heavy. It sinks into the trunk line and stays there, re-circulating for months. A camera inspection finds it in minutes.
- Per-vent pricing bait-and-switch. We hear from Scenic Oaks homeowners who were quoted one number on the phone, then told on site that the job was “bigger than expected” and the price tripled. One flat price per system, agreed before work starts, stops that cold.
- Brushed ducts without negative pressure. Running a brush through a duct without a HEPA vacuum pulling from the other end just loosens dust and blows it into the living room. In Scenic Oaks limestone-dust homes, this is the difference between clean ducts and a dustier house than before.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Scenic Oaks
Every three to five years for most Scenic Oaks homes, and more often if you’ve had a remodel, you run your HVAC hard through Texas summers, or you live in a part of Scenic Oaks where caliche dust accumulates fast. Homes near major roads or with pets may also need it sooner. If a company tells you every year no matter what, they’re selling you a subscription, not a service. We’d rather tell you when you don’t need it. Call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you an honest take based on what we see in Scenic Oaks.
We price per system, always. One flat price for the entire supply and return network, agreed in writing before we start, and it does not change when the tech arrives. Per-vent pricing is how lowball companies expand the bill on site, and we won’t do it. You’ll know your total before a single duct is touched.
We camera the main return and supply trunk first, so we know what we’re dealing with. Then we seal the registers, run a rotary brush through the ducts, and pull negative pressure with a Nikro HEPA vacuum at the air handler. That means loosened debris goes into the vacuum, not back into your house. We finish with before-and-after photos of your own ducts, so you can see the difference. Call (737) 727-2314 for a free estimate.
Yes, because the right cleaning removes the grit that’s already settled into your ducts and against your coil. What it can’t do is stop new dust from entering if your filter is undersized or your return grille is pulling from a dusty area. We’ll tell you what we find during the camera inspection and what, if anything, needs attention upstream. In Scenic Oaks, that’s usually a filter upgrade or sealing a return leak, not another cleaning.
We don’t promise same-day service, because proper duct cleaning is a scheduled job, not a race to the next appointment. A thorough clean of a Scenic Oaks home takes three to six hours, and we don’t cut corners to make a two-hour window work. We’ll get you on the schedule as soon as we can, and you’ll get a live arrival window you can track. Call (737) 727-2314 and our team will find the soonest real slot for your Scenic Oaks home.
